Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival
There will be no Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife in 2021, although the City Council is working with the Carnival groups in the design of some activities that can maintain the spirit of the festivities during the weeks in which it should have been celebrated.
The dates that Carnival 2021 should have been celebrated: Inauguration on Fri 15 Jan 2021. Contests would then have taken place from the following Thu 21 Jan 2021, until their climax with the Election of the Carnival Queen on Wed 10 Feb 2021. Carnival would have then taken to the streets with the Opening Parade on Fri 12 Feb 2021, with the Main Parade on Shrove Tuesday 16 Feb 2021, culminating on Sun 21 Feb 2021.
UPDATE 08/10/2020: In the current conditions of development of the pandemic, it is impossible to set a date for the celebration of Carnival 2021. The current situation means there is still no news on choosing a date for carnival next year, which they had hoped to have decided and announced in September and, instead it is looking very much like IF, rather than when, Carnival 2021 can go ahead.
UPDATE 23/07/2020: Carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife has been postponed to the second quarter of 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The city council will choose the final date in September 2020 and in consensus with the carnival groups. Three options are currently being considered: April, May or July 2021. New dates will be listed here.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival 2021 will take to the streets between Friday, 12 February 2021 and Sunday, 21 February 2021. The main events will likely be:
